The United States Powered Paragliding Association (USPPA) is the most recognized governing body for the paramotoring community. I journeyed far off into the middle of nowhere to have a discussion with Noah Rasheta, president of the USPPA, on the purpose and future of the organization.

The very talented young paramotor instructor from England walks me through how to perform a SAT (spiraling backwards) but encourages people to seek proper training at an SIV clinic! Through trial and error, Oscar has learned a lot.

Nope! This isn't a paramotor, but it's similar. Giles Fowler has stepped off from powered paragliders and into the world of flying powered delta wings (think hang gliders)! "They're not better, just different." Admittedly, I would love to try out one of these flying contraptions. How about you?

No one has ever produced more stunning footage of paramotors, nor has anyone created so an emotional response from the viewers. He has withnessed a lot (crashes, death, and glory), and weighs in on the risk and reward of flying paramotors.

Travis Burns is top instructor in paramotoring. He also loves Tom Cruise...yeah. I love this episode of The Paramotor Podcast. He's also the US importer for Fly Products, who we've had on the show before, and breaks down the lineup of trikes and footlaunch units that they offer. Most importantly, he dives into the philosophy of teaching people how to fly; It's incredible!

Trikes are better in many ways! But there are some disadvantages as well. In this episode, I am joined by my Swedish friend, Navid Saleki, who fills me in on all of the things that I should consider when it comes to flying trikes!
